A few weeks ago Chris and I went on a little field trip to New Bedford, Massachusetts to check out New England Demolition and Salvage. We weren't looking for anything in particular, but I kind of wished I was in the market for a tub.
Or a sink
If you are looking for it (and even if you aren't), this is the place to find it.
They also have a section of antiques where I found this fine frame.
Sure it needs a little rub-n-buffing to repair the corners, but I love the aged and timeworn look. Since bringing it home I've been obsessively scouring Etsy like a madwoman for an affordable 12 x 16 inch abstract on canvas.
No luck yet. This might have to be a do-it-myselfer project.

i love the frame and love the aged look if it, too!
Ooo, tub heaven sounds like my kind of place!
Oh my gosh, I've never heard of this place! I think a little drive to New Bedford may be in my future! Especially since I've got bathroom reno's on the brain ;) Thanks!
Wow, that is claw foot tub heaven. Never seen so many in one spot. I wish I could replace my ginormous garden tub with one.
I love clawfoot tubs - the style does not fit my era of the house though ;(
All those tubs are kind of maddening. Oddly, or not, Pink Floyd starting playing in my mind. "all in all, you're just another..." Oh, and we got $17 to scrap our tub. $350+ OUCH!
Wow, its like where all the tubs and sinks in New England end up. Looks like fine! Love the frame!
WOW!! That is a seriously fun place.
What a crazy fun place...a little soap and cleanup, they could look amazing!
I love looking around at places like that! We don't have one of those here in Birmingham. :( M.
Cool place! I wish I had a clawfoot tub. So dreamy!
My first apartment had a claw foot tub it was kind of cool, they totally don't fit my current house though...sad face.
Gorgeous frame - but I can't believe all those tubs!! That is pure craziness! Don't you love that stuff like that is salvaged and restored??? It makes my recycle-loving heart full of happiness :)
Ahhh to have a claw foot tub. Maybe in a few years :) What a beautiful frame!
That place would be the death of me! Cocoa and hearts on Etsy has some nice hand painted canvases :)
I have a renewed love with Rub N Buff stuff. Just whipped a old mirror into shape. Now if only I can blink my eyes and wish one of those lovely tubs into my home. Dreaming.
I've always wanted to make a trip there! Next time you go, let me know!
